Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the hypotenuse be y and the other legs be x.
So:
Required
Determine the exact dimension of the triangle
Using Pythagoras theorem;
This gives:
Open bracket
Collect like terms
Using quadratic formula:
Split
x can not be negative.
So:
Recall that:
Hence, the dimensions are:
It approximately the answer (17) if rounded
The hundred thousands place is the 2. Since the place below that is 0, it rounds down.
